The Tang

I've been craving authentic Chinese noodles, and The Tang lived up to the hype.  We enjoyed the noodles as well as the appetizers.

Smoked duck egg -- flavorful and well cooked, with soft but not runny yolk
Cucumber salad -- okay, but underwhelming; there are better cucumber salads at other spots
Beef short ribs -- very tender (pretty marbled meat)
Chilled beef shank -- flavor good, but meat was a bit tough; they could've also sliced it more thinly
Sesame tofu -- this was the best; highly recommend!
**Side comment: the egg and both beef appetizers are all served over a bed of cucumber; doesn't really make a difference to me, but couldn't help but notice the same garnish/plating in all 3 dishes!

        

ZJM (炸醬麵 zha jiang mian) -- good, simple take on a classic dish; thick and chewier noodles (very al dente, could've maybe been cooked just 1 more minute for me)
MJM (麻醬麵 ma jiang mian) -- chicken was very tender; dish overall felt light and was good for a hot day; slightly thinner noodles than ZJM

  

Overall, good comfort food, and I plan to go back to try other noodles too.
